With the Jets seven games into the season and with Tim Tebow having thrown only two passes on offense, Jets offensive coordinator Tony Sparano on Thursday conceded that he needs to call more Tebow passing plays to keep opposing defenses honest.

“Can I put him in more in some of those different situations (to pass)? Sure,’’ Sparano said. “I’m not going to sit here and tell you I can’t do that. I can do a better job using him more in some of those situations, but it’s just been the way the games have gone, a feel.

“It’s just a feeling you have during the course of a game. When you’re rolling and you feel Mark (Sanchez) is hot, you’re riding the hot hand at that point.’’

The Jets’ use of Tebow has been surprisingly spare this season after all the preseason hype surrounding their unveiling of the new offensive weapon.

Tebow has had only 25 touches in seven games, an average of slightly more than three per game, and that includes several special teams plays.

In the last two games entering Sunday’s game against the Dolphins at MetLife Stadium, Tebow has been in on only 11 plays.

That has driven speculation that Sparano has not yet figured out how to use Tebow in this offense.

Asked on Thursday whether it’s fair to say he’s still figuring out how to best use Tebow, Sparano said, “No, I think I have a pretty good feel on how to use him and how to use him best. I don’t think I’m still trying to figure that out.

“I was born on a day, but not yesterday. That one there, I figured that out. I feel like I have a good answer on how to use him best.’’

That might not be great news for Jets fans considering Tebow is averaging only 3.5 yards per rush and he’s thrown only those two passes on offense.

“Tim made a lot of explosive plays in Denver because he was under center every down,’’ Sparano said. “I felt like Mark was in a really good rhythm the other day (against the Patriots) and we did have a good small injection of Tim in that game.’’

Why not have Tebow pass more often to loosen defenses and deter them from stacking defenders in the box to stuff the running play?

“Yeah, I’d like to see us using the pass a little bit more (with Tebow),’’ former Dolphin and current Jets safety Yeremiah Bell told The Post Thursday. “As a defender, when you’re playing against the wildcat most of time it’s a running back so you know what you’re going to get — a power run or a gadget pass. With Tim, there’s no safe way to defend it. You have to play honest.

“With Tim, (the threat of the pass) is another element for them to worry about,’’ Bell went on. “When you start passing out of it, it becomes that much more of a weapon. Then a lot of teams who do like to all-out blitz it can’t stand up on the line anymore for fear of the ball getting thrown over their head. And, then when they’re worried about the pass they’re backing off, which opens lanes for the run.’’

Jets defensive tackle Mike DeVito said the wildcat becomes a “two-dimensional’’ problem for defenses once teams throw out of it.

“That’s the dynamic that makes it difficult to defend,’’ DeVito said. “That’s why it makes it dangerous when you get a guy like Tebow that can throw it, too. Now you can’t put 10 guys in the box. You have to have guys covering the pass.’’
